Halbe Zijlstra, leader of the VVD (liberal party) which
leads the Dutch government coalition says that he is disgusted by immigrants who
do not share Dutch ‘norms’ and ‘values’ and have sharia-like opinions. He referred
specifically to those who do not accept freedom of religion, and gender
equality. Those people who abuse Christians and consider single women prostitutes
and assault them should get out of the Netherlands. Those who want to introduce
sharia should go to Saudi Arabia.Wednesday, September 30, 2015

The daily Telegraaf writes that the financial data of
the state owned rail infrastructure company ProRail are unreliable. Its
management does not know the financial situation of various projects. That

Two-thirds of stolen art cannot be identified
More than two-thirds of stolen art and antiques in the
Netherlands can hardly be found. Victims
often do not own pictures or exact data of the stolen items. They therefore cannot be registered in the
National Police database of stolen art.
This was reported by Martin Finkelnberg, the head of the National Police
team for art and antique theft, who manages the national database. About 2,500 pictures are currently registered
in the database, including pictures by Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and Frans
Hals.Friday, September 18, 2015

Journalist buys Syrian passport and affixes picture of Dutch Prime Minister.
Dutch journalist Harald Doornbos paid 750 Euros for a “genuine”
Syrian passport and identity card, affixed with the picture of Dutch Prime
Minister Mark Rutte. The procedure took
40 hours. Since the war in Syria,
thousands of empty passports and the printers of the Syrian government are in
the hands of Sunni rebels. They sell the
passports to anyone willing to pay. All
one needs is a telephone number of one of the falsifiers. According to the journalist, Jihadists show
their false Syrian passports to European authorities, who do not realize that
the passports are fake. They often enter
Europe through Greece, and can from there travel through Europe freely due to
the Schengen Agreement.

Minister of Defence: no place for Salafists in Dutch Army
Dutch Minister of Defense, Jeanine Hennis, has said that the
Dutch army is no place for people with radical views. This includes Salafists. If a soldier becomes a Salafist during his
army service, he is to be discharged from the army. Her statement came following many
parliamentary questions concerning the Dutch sergeant who had joined the
Islamic State. Hennis, however, opposed
the PVV’s view which would prevent all Muslims from joining the Dutch army. She
said, “Muslim soldiers are also willing to lay down their lives in extreme
cases for the freedom of all Dutch citizens, including adherents of the PVV”.

Leading Expert Heads of Police Should be Fired
Professor Cyrille Fijnaut, a leading Dutch criminologist,
has said that those who conceived and implemented the re-organisation of the
National Police are incompetent and should be fired. He added: “why would the people who came up
with the wrong plans and then executed them inadequately not be replaced? Is it possible that they would excel in the
future in activities where so far they have obviously proved unsuccessful?” Former chief commissioner of the Amsterdam
police, Joop van Riessen, reserves his criticism for Minister of Security and
Justice, Ard van der Steur . He says
those mainly responsible for the problems in the national police are
politicians. He added “the Minister
wants to deflect attention away from his own failures.”

Expert expresses doubts about Government Institute study on carcinogenic product
In 1986, the National Institute for Public Health and
Environment RIVM did study of PX-10, a product used in the Dutch army to clean
weapons. The product contains benzene, a
carcinogenic chemical. RIVM concluded
that the risk to the soldiers of contracting leukemia from use of PX-10 was
minimal. Professor Jan Tytgat, an expert on the subject
who teaches toxicology at Leuwen Catholic University in Belgium, says that this
study should be redone, as the RIVM focused too much on statistics instead of
reviewing individual cases.

Thousands of illegal migrants registered under false identities
In 2007 there was a general amnesty for illegal residents in
the Netherlands. 28,000 people who were
living illegally in the Netherlands were allowed to stay. It now turns out that thousands of them registered
under false identities. One lawyer who
represents mainly Chinese formerly illegal immigrants says that 80 to 90% of these
immigrants gave false identities.
According to one government lawyer, the majority of those who benefitted
from the general amnesty had registered under entirely or partly false
identities.

Prime Minister Rutte: It is best if Dutch jihadis are killed in the Middle East
Prime Minister Mark Rutte has said that it would be better for
Dutch jihadis to be killed in Syria and Iraq rather than return to the
Netherlands. He said that although this
is not government policy, it is appropriate if people are so mentally backward
to go there and fight for a bad cause that goes against all Dutch values. Four opposition parties D-66, the Green Left,
SP and the Christian Union were shocked by these statements.
